Resonant photoemission experiments were performed in order to reveal the contributions of half-filled Gd 4f^{7} shell to the electronic structures of Sn_{0.95}Gd_{0.05}Te and Pb_{0.95}Gd_{0.05}S crystals. The influences of the Gd 4f^{6} final-state multiplet splitting and f-ligand hybridization on the shapes of the spectra are discussed.
